Getting to Brno

By air-plane and bus

Most of the flights will be destined to the international airport Prague-Ruzyne. You can book you fly ticket by Student Agency (www.kralovna.cz) online system, travel partner of the conference, with reduced flight ticket rates. You will find full offer of different airlines worldwide. The system communicates at this time only in Czech, but it is so easy (!), that it shouldn’t be a problem. After the booking and payment you will receive an electronic ticket by email or you can use the possibility of prepaid ticket advice (which offers some airlines) and pick up the ticket at your country.

On Prague-Ruzyne you will take the yellow Student Agency buses. They sell tickets in a stand right at the airport in the arrival hall. There is a line of stands. Turn right towards the Exit E and search for a stand with yellow buses. The organization is called Student Agency. There will be a sign Buses Prague - Brno. Buy a ticket to Brno. Wait there - the driver will come a couple of minutes before the departure to pick you up and bring you to the bus. Warning: they only accept Czech currency! There is an Exchange office at the airport. The one-way ticket costs CZK 190,- (€ 6,-). They will not probably accept Euros, so remember to get some change at the airport (you will need it anyway)! See the bus schedule below. Make sure you will let us know the exact date and time of your arrival.
